Description

The idea for this selection grew out of Wendy Cope's performances and encounters with audiences – in schools and at readings – and her sense that it might be useful for readers to have an edition which identifies the ingredients of the poems: their parodies and allusions, their rich variety of verse forms (ballades, villanelles, triolets, couplets . . .), together with the contexts and occasions of her poetry.The result is a sparkling miscellany, bringing together for the first time the best of Cope, in a wholly new arrangement which attends to the inner story rather than the external chronology of publication. The notes identify dates of composition, nonetheless, so that readers can gain a sense of the progress and development of her work.Drawing on Wendy Cope's three published collections to date, Two Cures for Love also includes previously uncollected poems, both old and new.
